The Corralitas Red Car Property was a private right-of-way through Silver Lake (Los Angeles) for the Pacific Electric interurban streetcar. The “Big Red Cars” ran until 1955 when the Glendale Line was decommissioned for freeway construction. For almost 40 years, a series of developers tried and failed to develop the Corralitas Red Car Property. It's not a park, it just looks like one.

While the studies say they don't want to discourage kids from playing sports, there are few alternatives for many in the community as so many of our parks and playing fields are within 1000' of freeways and in this case, the Metrolink Central Maintenance Facility.

Metrolink officials, including Metrolink CEO John Fenton, will respond to community outcry over the air & noise pollution from their maintenance facility at a meeting tonight. Click here for flyer.
